Conant, is that whether
tomosynthesis is used or not, mammography captures anatomy, not physiology, and very dense breast tissue may still obscure a tumor, even when the tomographic slices are peeled back.
Comparison of digital mammography alone and digital mammography plus
tomosynthesis in a population-based screening program.

Computer-aided detection system for breast masses on digital
tomosynthesis mammograms: preliminary experience.
The M-Vu CAD System for breast
tomosynthesis is currently under review by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), pending approval.
Tomosynthesis, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasound, when used in addition to mammography, all appear to detect more cancers, but they also yield more false-positive results.
Patients with dense breast tissue may be recommended for additional screening exams including use of breast
tomosynthesis.

Compared with conventional breast scans, the 3D imaging method developed by GE and Siemens, also known as digital breast
tomosynthesis, increased detections of invasive cancers by 41 %, US scientists found.
Washington, June 18 (ANI): Researchers have claimed that mammography screening with 3D digital breast
tomosynthesis (DBT) yielded lower recall rates, an increased overall cancer detection rate, and an increased detection rate for invasive cancer compared with 2D digital mammography (DM).
